What makes CYCLOSPORINE an effective drug for transplant patients?

Name the 4 typed of HYPERSENSITIVITY?

This refers to the response of Basophils and Mast Cells over reacting to antigens?

- When an antigen (Allergen particles) attaches to IgE that is on the membranes of B-cells (Mast cells), they release too much histamine which results in inflammation, runny nose, red itchy eyes?

This is susceptible to inheritance?

An over reaction of the immune system that can lead to tissue damage or Death of the patient is refered to as ____?

This is a systemic anaphylactic shock caused by :
- drugs like penicillin
- insect venoms like bee sting
- Pollen

What injection is used to treat ANAPHYLAXIS?

Aprocedure that involves the injections of small amounts of antigen in the a host is refered to as______?

- This proedure initiates the production of IgG &IgA molecules that block the antigen from getting to the IgE on the MAST Cells?

A chronic local allegy such as :
- Hey fever
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Hives

What causes disorders in the immune system?

Name 2 methods of curing ANAPHYLAXIS?

The response of IgG or IgM activation of the COMPLEMT SYSTEM results in ?
--------------------
the activation of this system result in the formation of membrane attack complexes which leads to cell lysis.
---------------------
This type of hypersensitivity is the CAUSE OF TRANSFUSION REACTIONS?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PATIENT IS GIVEN THE WRONG BLOOD TYPE?

Hemolytic disease of NEW BORNS is an example of what type of hypersensitivity?

How can Hemolytic disease of New Borns be prevented?

How does Hemolytic disease of New Borns occur?

What are examples of type III (Immune Complex) hypersensitivity?

This herpersensitivity is inheriditary, and results from IgG & IgM specific for small circulating antigens which form complexes that activate complement on host tissues?

- It is opposite to Type I hypersensitivity?

This type of heypersensitivity results from the immune system reacting to foreign antigens binding to patients's tissues or cells?

- the antigens are attacked by Marcrophages & T Cytotoic cells

Name examples of type IV (Cell mediated /Delayed) hypersensitivity?

What plays a major role in the Rejection of a GRAFTED organ?

--------------------
These patients suffer from severe opportinistic infections and an increased risk of Cancer?

E.g: DeGeorge Syndrome

This disease is heriditary, and occurs when someone inherits both Agammaglobulinemia and T-cell Deficiency?
-----------------------
Patients cannot survive unless they are kept away from all micro organisms?

E.g: The Bubble boy disease

What is the name of the drug that is given to prevent GRATED REJECTION?
